Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro, a famous mountain in Africa, is noted for a book by Ernest Hemingway and a movie based on it. In recent years, environmentalists complained that the snow-capped peak has been clearing up and blaming this on global warming. The actual scientific verdict is that deforestation is responsible.

The cause of the melting is long-term climate shifts exacerbated by imprudent regional deforestation, and has nothing to do with “global warming.” [1]
